Hey, did you hear he would've lived if he was wearing suntan lotion. You know, because it protects against dangerous rays!

It's too bad that his goofy persona gave some people the impression he wasn't as intelligent as he really was. He was probably the most well known conservationist in the world; he was able to use his celebrity to bring attention to a lot of environmental issues. But that goofiness is what endeared him to children and got them thinking about endangered species and environmental preservation. Get a kid to think about and want to learn more about natural sciences? What a concept.

I always thought it was cool that he discovered a new species of turtle on the coast of Queensland. Known as Elseya irwini, Irwin's Turtle.

For some reason, whenever I hear the song "Rock Lobster," I think of him.

He was apparently out on a long term research trip, and had stopped briefly to make a small minivideo for one of his kids when this happened. Very good and emotional interview on Larry King the other night.

I was reading 'Silent World' by Jaques Custeau the other day and read about how the stingray is entirely harmless and rarely attacks even when 'molested' (it was written in the WWII), and I couldn't help but think of Steve.

This one has it LEAPING into the boat and STABBING him... 

  " LIGHTHOUSE POINT -- An 81-year-old man is undergoing surgery this afternoon after he was stabbed in the chest by a stingray that leaped onto his boat while he was sailing on the Intracoastal Waterway, according to Lighthouse Point police."

so...  stingrays can leap? I always thought that inherently had something to do with feet or legs.  :?

OMG stabbing stingray epidemic!!!!

You mean to tell me that more than one person has been attacked in such a way by these gentle creatures? Because Steve Irwin sure as hell wasn't 81.
